Does anyone know if the Dectane front LED's and the RoTec ones are exactly the same design or are there differences?

Thanks. And do both need separate resistors or does Dectane have them built in now? Also I think the price is the same so it makes sense to buy from Ray for local support?

Hey Ray, I am still having problems with the fault on my LED's so do I need the module. I've sent a few emails but no reply from you.

as far as I know the module is for the DRL function



The DRL lights sometimes have had resistor issues not module issues as the module is sold separately



If your having issues with the DRL lights from RAY (showing up on dash-check front right DRL) then its resistor



if your having trouble with the module (say its not working) then it may be wired incorrectly. I presume this was wired in aftermarket being a US car. Canadian cars came standard with this function and didn't need a aftermarket module. (I am sure you know this)



I was not aware that Rottec sold DRL modules. I hear they came from Dectain. In which case you may need to contact them about this module issue. Or maybe you need to contact the installer of the module. I do not know.



-->Maybe it is a resistor issue - What does your error message say on your dash?



Ray has been quite busy lately as I've been trying to contact him also and he is just a few days longer apon reply due to a heavy work load. He will get back to you in a few days, I have faith in Ray as he is a stand up guy. As I said I don't know what the exact Issue your having may be but I am happy to try to help. Reading thru this whole thread or as much of it as you can stand will most likely help figure out the problem.

best of luck to ya

Lopro, thanks very much and sorry my message was confusing. All I get is on dash is "system fault take to workshop." I had the faults cleared and they come right back, the tech guy says the fault is the front control module. I was trying to ask if the module being discussed in the thread may help and I appreciate you explaining it really would not and thats why I asked Ray about resistor since I only got one with lights, perhaps I needed another. Again, I simply don't know but I do appreciate any assistance in trying to figure this out, really like the lights. I know Ray will get back to me. Thanks again.

Lopro, thanks for PM. I can receive but not send since I do not have enough post. If you provide me email via PM I will be happy to email you reply. I installed LEDs, headlights and side lamps all at same time. Thanks

Front control module is something totally separate from your lights. I had the same issue after I waxed my car once. It has to do with static. You need to get a new module from Porsche, was not an expensive part.

Ray sent one resistor and I used it for the right side, after reading previous posts. No codes. This install is very easy, especially after reading this thread. Now I'm contemplating the Dectane module for true DRL function. I use the Porsche battery maintainer routinely and I am concerned about issues about the flashing lights as previously mentioned. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I know this sounds lame, but if I am getting a right side warning error is that the driver's side or passenger's side? Thanks!

Thank you very much, I am glad to hear that it was not the lights. Again, really appreciate that.

Porsche convention is that left is the driver's side and right is the passenger side.
